Sample Some Pyramid Aged Wine at Summerhill Pyramid Winery

Did you know that some of the best wines in the world are
grown right here in British Columbia?I
had no idea until my friend Pam brought me for a wine tasting at the Summerhill
Pyramid Winery – the most visited winery in British Columbia and the first
winery to be certified an Organic Winery by the Pacific Agricultural
Certification Society of Vernon.Why do
they call it Pyramid Winery?Because
they age the wines in a four story replica of the Great Pyramid built with
marble imported from Egypt.In fact, its
alignment and precision is second only to the Great Pyramid which was built to
absolute sacred geometry with both pi and phi aligned to absolute True North
and contains no ferrous metals that would have it re-orient to magnetic north.The story of Summerhill began in 1986 when New York
developer Stephen Cipes first visited the Okanagan and found the perfect
conditions to produce the intensely flavoured small grapes needed to make the world’s
best sparkling wines. So does pyramid power really work?Amazingly enough yes it does.The winery had been conducting blind taste
tests with their visitor having them compare wine aged in a traditional cellar
versus the same type of wine aged in the pyramid. An astounding 90% of people
preferred the pyramid aged wine. Further proof that sacred geometry combined with
organically grown grapes produces the world’s best wines is the number of
international gold medals won by the winery; not only were they named the best
winery in Canada; they even won the gold medal in Champagne France against
French Champagne.Today all of the wines
produced at the winery are aged for at least 30 days in the pyramid allowing
the sacred geometry to enhance and clarify them.

Summerhill is the largest organic winery in North America
with over 80 acres or vineyards.They use
no chemical pesticides or fertilizers and their spiritual beliefs and interest
in preserving the Earth extend far beyond their wines.They have partnered up with renowned Canadian
wildlife painter Robert Bateman to market and promote a series of organic wines
called the “Get to Know” series
with profits going to Bateman`s non-profit society `Get to Know Your Wild
Neighbours` which takes youths away from their computer and TV screens and into
nature.After our tour of the pyramid, Pam and I were treated to a
special private tour of the vineyard and much to my surprise we were brought to
a sacred native earth house and an early European birthing house.How appropriate that a winery that values
spirituality, healing and healthy living be located on the same property. It is a little known fact that the vineyard is also home to Canada's
only Exhibit of First Contact between the Original Peoples and First European
Settlers.The exhibit, which came with
the property, consists of a heritage house owned by early settler Henry Cecil
Mallam who in 1904 bought the property complete with the two story hand hewn
log house built in 1897.With a scarcity
of doctors in the area, the Mallam women all acted as midwives bringing many
babies into the world in the log house.In the gully next to the Mallam house is the Makwala Kekuli -
a replica of the sacred earth house used by the indigenous peoples for
centuries as their winter home.The fire
in the centre kept the earth covered dome warm and is believed to be the
passageway to ancestors on the other side.On special occasions, spiritual ceremonies are still held in the Kekuli.
